New York also has the four highest-paid players in the game this year: Alex Rodriguez ($33 million), CC Sabathia ($24.2), Derek Jeter ($22.6), and Mark Teixeira ($20.6). John Lackey ($18.7), at #12, is the only Boston player in the Top 25. Last year, the Yankees had six players in the Top 25, while Boston had none.

I'd be interested in seeing compiled statistics at the end of the season to determine the following: a) if this is still trueb) whether the Yankees infield outhit the other teams, individually and collectively.c) whether the Yankees infield outfielded the other teams, individually and collectively.
